Nigerian parents are usually the best, but in some cases where they either wanted you to do something or stop complaining, these were 15 effective lies they used more than once.
And we fell for them every single time.
1. “Let me hold the money for you.” …and you never see it again.
2. “Just tell me the truth, I won’t beat you.” …and you leave in a wheelchair.
3. “I’ll buy it for you if you come first in class.” …It never happens.
4. “I’ll buy it for you on your birthday.”…Birthday comes and goes. Still nothing.
5. “Don’t worry, we’ll soon leave.” …An extra 5 hours go by.
6. “I’ll think about it.” …and it never come up again.
7. “You’ll grow into it.”…You’re an adult now and it is still not you size.
8. “Go and wear your shoes, I’ll wait.” …they don’t.
9. “I don’t have a favorite child.” …they do.
10. “I didn’t do all this boyfriend-girlfriend till I married.” …but you’ve seen the pictures.
11. “I don’t have money.” …but you’ve seen the wallet.
12. “I always came first in class.”…but you’ve seen their results.
13. “My parents never got angry with me.” …but that’s not what grandma said.
14. “Eat the beans so you’ll grow tall.” …but that’s not what your Science teacher said.
15. “Lend me, I’ll give you back.” …and it is gone forever.
We still love them, though.
